With over 170 music festivals annually, the city’s got the energy, but lacks the infrastructure. OMIC is filling that gap with professional support, talent showcases, and smart policy advocacy. Melanie Brulée highlights Ottawa’s rare collaborative spirit, which fuels innovation, even as the city still struggles with missing industry players like labels and managers. The tide is turning: five new venues have opened, and the mid-sized History Ottawa is set to launch soon—bridging the gap between small clubs and big arenas. The vision? To embed music deeply in Ottawa’s identity, from downtown revitalization to fair noise bylaws, creating a sustainable, vibrant scene that benefits the whole city.
